DYNAMOMETRIC BEARING UNIT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: dynamometric bearing unit comprises housing and bushing 2 mounted inside the housing. The face flanges of the bushing are in contact with the bearing race from one side. Projections 4 are in contact with the fixed part of the unit from the other side. The projections and bushing are axially alined, and the projections are uniformly arranged over periphery. The outer and inner diameters of the projections are equal to the outer and inner diameters of the bushing. The projections provided on one flange 3 of the bushing and projection provided on the other flange are mutually checkered. Pickups 7 are interposed between radial surfaces 8 of the projections on the surface of bushing 2. In operation of the unit, axial loading causes shear deformation. Pickups 7 are detected the deformation. EFFECT: simplified design and increased axial rigidity. 4 dwg
